EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant atmosphere of Piazza del Mercato Vecchio in Florence, Italy, back in 1555. The fresco by Jan van der Straet (Joannes Stradanus) beautifully depicts a bustling scene filled with life and activity. In the foreground, we see a group of Morris dancers gracefully performing their traditional dance. Their colorful costumes and rhythmic movements add an element of entertainment to the market square. Surrounding them is a diverse crowd consisting of merchants, locals, and visitors from all walks of life. The Palazzo Vecchio (Palazzo della Signoria), an iconic landmark in Florence, stands tall in the background. Its grandeur serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and architectural beauty. Chimneys dotting the rooftops release plumes of smoke into the air while roof tiles glisten under sunlight. Water flows through fountains and channels, adding to the charm and liveliness of this Renaissance-era street scene. Stalls line both sides of the square, offering various goods for trade. Merchants engage in animated conversations with potential customers as they showcase their wares. Overall, this print transports us back in time to experience firsthand the energy and vibrancy that once filled Piazza del Mercato Vecchio centuries ago. It serves as a testament to Florence's cultural heritage and its enduring appeal as a hub for artistry and commerce throughout history.
